Ch 2 Flashcards
3 types of joints and their classifications
Fibrous (synarthodial)
cartilaginous (amparthrodial)
synovial (diathrodial) —
What modality is particularly useful for shoulders and knees for soft tissue detail
MRI
It uses a staging technique for tumors as well
Modality used for fractures and dislocations in cases of trauma
CT
Can provide spiral or helical CT for bone tumors as well.
Which modality has the ability to give an injury a time? And shows metabolic reaction of the bone for disease process.
Nuclear medicine
A hereditary disease; causing brittle bone.
Osteogenesis Imperfecta
The most common inherited disorder. Results in dwarfism and deformity
Achondroplasia
Marble bone or increased bone density; affects long bones more.
These also include osteosclerosis, dysplasias, craniotubular diseases
Osteopetrosis
A form of osteosclerotic osteopetrosis. A delayed, benign skeletal anomaly of increased bone density; most patients are asymptomstic. General health of individual is unimpaired.
Albers-Schoenberg disease
Aka talipes. Malformation of the foot
Club foot

Anencephaly
An infection of the bone that allows to enter the bloodstream

This is a common condition from staph, E. coli and strep B
A shell of new supporting bone laid down by the periosteum
Involucrum
TB of the spine is also known as
Pott disease
Joint inflammation
Arthritis
Inflammatory arthritis that affects hands and feet and dip joints of them -associated with scoriasis
Psoriatic arthritis
A chronic systemic disease primarily joints- an overgrowth of synovial tissues and destruction of cartilage bone
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
A group of symptoms associated with complications of urethritis. Common in males -sI joints, heels, and toes. “Lovers heel”
Reiter syndrome
Nuclear medicine is used to diagnose
Osseous outgrowths (bone spurs) Found with osteoarthritis aka DJD
Osteophytes
Primary malignancy of bone in metaphysis /Common in knees
Osteosarcoma
Osteomalacia
Softening of bone by lack of calcium in tissues
Inherited disease or build up of Utica acid in the joints
Gout
